     This week in math we will continue our work on fractions. This week our focus will be on comparing fractions. Students will do this by using landmarks, mathematical reasoning, and with fraction equivalence. At the end of the week we will begin working on adding and subtracting fractions. Students will take timed quizzes on Friday.



     This week we will study. Students will learn the meanings of  motion, velocity, acceleration and how to calculate speed. Did you know that acceleration is more than speeding up. Acceleration is speeding up, slowing down or changing direction. 
  
     We will not have a lesson for social studies this week due to the Literacy Week Character parade. Students do have a sheet that needs to be completed for homework. The sheet is due by Friday. 

Growth Mindset

     For our Growth Mindset we are continuing to learn how to set goals for ourselves. Right now students are setting goals for the 3rd quarter. Once students have set their goal we will discuss making a plan to make sure our goals are successful.  

Have a GREAT week,
Aesha
